A tile trim with an overlap?

[JohnBishop]

Hi All,

 I hope you are doing well.

I have bought these L shaped trims however I see around the window that my tiles are not exactly flush and I don't have extra lip to compensate for surface undulation.
Is there a trim that can cover these imperfections? e.g. rather than this:
___|
something like this:

___|

Google T shape tile trim

 

Stuff like this comes up, so check with dimensions as to what is suitable.

That was easy. LOL Indeed it's a T shape.

It looks like I wasn't good at school, I managed to learn the alphabet up to L but not up to T.

[JohnBishop]

I don't think I can get T shaped one anywhere but online.
I checked at Wickes, Topps Tiles and B&Q online but I don't see any T shaped ones.

I have searched extensively hoping that these T trims are common but they don't.
All T shaped trims are mainly for transition only and the one you found is for steps but I have not found any more than these Genesis ones.

Any good?

 

Maybe contact that supplier and hopefully they can source what you need?

I have checked and these ones are either 14mm or 25mm.
My tiles are 9.5mm thick so I think the only that would match is Genesis one which is 10mm.

It's definitely a stair tile trim not transition trim.

I have not come across any more stair trims that the one you have shared so I think I order this one. It's out of stock in many stores.

Try a B&Q, as the larger superstores carry all sorts of weird and wonderful plastic trims (located where the steel and alu trims and box-section / sheets etc are).

@JohnBishop you can get any shape tile trim you need at a cost ! - to cover up imperfections/ (expletive deleted) ups / incompetence etc . . I know .

I have been at Wicks and Topps Tiles and they pretty much have the same selection of trims and nothing to do what I want to do.
I will check at B&Q.

I have found a similar one at B&Q for about 20 quid. This transition trim is the only one I found that makes sense in this application.

[JohnBishop]

I have installed the tiles around the window however because these trims don't have long enough anchor I was not able to just attach them with tile adhesive. It would be too messy anyway.
What is the best to attach these trims? Should I use silicone?

[JohnBishop]

Hi again,

I have these threshold trims cut.
Can someone tell me how can I attach them?
